"Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference."
Why Give?
- It feels good! Research proves that donating to community causes is a major mood-booster. The knowledge that you’re helping others is hugely empowering and, in turn, can make you feel happier and more fulfilled. It supports the old adage, it really is far better to give than to receive.
- Giving to charity strengthens personal values. Impacting the lives of others in such a positive way is a privilege. Acting on these feelings of responsibility is a great way to reinforce those values and feel like you are helping your fellow community neighbors.
- Giving is more impactful than ever. 100% of all donations stay within the community of Beausejour-Brokenhead.
- Giving can demonstrate to others the importance of generosity. Others may notice and they too can have the benefit of feeling good about donating!
- Giving builds and strengthens community. This foundation exists solely for the benefit of the community of Beausejour-Brokenhead.
Way’s to Give
- Personal
A gift at anytime in the form of cash, cheque, e-transfer or an online donation. - *By Will
A bequest may be for a specific amount or for the residue of an estate or any portion thereof. - *Life Insurance
Insurance can be an ideal way to create a major gift at a relatively low cost to the donor. - *Memorial Gift
Make a memorial gift to perpetuate the name of a friend or relative. - *Gift of Shares/Bonds
Publicly listed securities are not subject to capital gains tax when they are donated directly to a charity without being sold first, and you still receive a tax receipt for the value of the donation. This makes them an especially tax-efficient gift. - *Multi-year Pledge
You may make an initial contribution and a commitment to add to the initial donation over a period of years. - *Corporate
A business may find it advantageous to use the Brokenhead River Community Foundation as a vehicle for its charitable purposes by establishing its own ‘named’ fund.
* Before making such a donation, it is advisable to seek professional financial advice to ensure that you or your estate receives the maximum tax benefits.
